The Adelaide man – whose name has not been disclosed – confessed to his now ex-wife in a note. It detailed how he sexually abused his daughter and stepdaughter. His ex-wife then contacted the police and reported the assault.

A report by ABC stated that while in court, the man pleaded guilty to bestiality, one count of persistent sexual exploitation of a child and one aggravated count of indecent assault.

He allegedly took the most advantage of his stepdaughter while she was asleep. The assault began to take place when she was 9 years old, and continued until she was 11.

His biological daughter, who was 3 at the time of abuse, was also sexually assaulted by the troubled man.

It didn't stop there, though.

The father also admitted in court that he sexually penetrated both the family's chickens and dog.

The sexually disturbed man was sentenced to six years and seven months in prison. But according to Daily Mail, he was given a three-and-a-half-year non-parole period when he was taken into custody in December 2015.
